Does it consitatly pull to on side or the other? When was the alignment done last? Hit any potholes lately? Could be a bad strut, toe is most likely out.

5 speed dual range swap
Mr. Brat replied to doobieryan's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
You dont need a new rear diff and you dont need new axles. That stuff is all the same. You need the flywheel from the EA82 and the clutch for that. You will need to modify the trans mounts to fit or modify the trans crossmember to fit. Have to grid down the bottom of the motor bellhousing to fit the flywheel. And you will need to fab up the carrier bearing to the bodyfor the EA82 drive line. Do some searching around here, there is alot of right ups on how to do this. I have done it myself with both ways on the trans mounts. -
I sent you a differant picture, did it upload better?
-
That sounds like a blast. I will be there in my brat.

-
Should throw out your e-mail. I will send you pictures and info on mine.

Sounds good, thanks.

Oh ok that might have been what I had seen. So, I should just buy a complete XT6 clutch kit and it will work just fine?
-
yeah I seen your thread. Thats kinda where I had got confused with the milling out for the xt6 clutch disk. Then looking into parts the splines are differant between the 2 disks.
-
The xt6 clutch kit will fit the ea82 flywheel without any mods? Did some parts checking online and found that the od. size is the same and the id. is an 1/8th smaller on the EA82 and xt6 was 24 spline and the EA82 is 21 spline.
-
I did searching around and some research, did really find what I was looking for. I found that the XT6 pressure plate has more holding pressure 500k which sounds good to me. But the forum I was reading about this, the guy had the flywheel machined to XT6 specs. Aperantly this was due to the "step" in the clutch? Anyway, What would the best configuration of pressure plate and clutch disk would I want for a EJ w/ 5 spd. dual range? Note: 4" lift and 28" tires, this will be offroaded also.

got as far as looking in the door panel to see that the window lifts with the scissor lift style. I will update whe I actually get into it.

I went and picked up a wagon with pw pm today. I will rip into the door and see what it is all about. I was going to do the power mirror swap but I dont like the switch. I will let you guys know how to the power windows go.
-
When mine was stock I was getting an average of 27 on the highway and with the canopy I was getting about 32mpg. That was also with 6 lug conv. and bigger tires but no lift. About 24-25 inch tires.

If you are still going to use your EA82 trans, I bought my plate from Scott. http://sjrlift.com Also can have him drill your flywheel or just purchase the kit from him.

custom bumpers - 86 gl wagon
Mr. Brat replied to Kartier's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
tube bumpers are pretty easy to make and can make them to alot of things. When I built my front tube bumper I resessed the lights and winch plug, intalled a winch and roller fair lead and also put in d-ring points that also double as hook-up points for my flat tow bar. Its a pretty sweet setup.
